BExTS110D
Flameproof Sontel
1) Introduction
The BExTS110D is a second generation flameproof Sontel
telephone sounder which is certified to the European
Standards EN 50014: 1992 and EN 50018: 1994 and meets
the requirements of the ATEX directive 94/9/EC. The Sontel
produces a loud audible signal when triggered by a telephone
ringing signal and can be used in hazardous areas where
potentially flammable atmospheres may be present. Thirty-two
different sounds can be selected by internal switches (
see tone
table on Page 4
). The BExTS110D unit produces output levels
in the 110dB(A) range. The unit can be used in Zone 1 and
Zone 2 areas with gases in groups IIA, IIB and IIC and
temperature Classifications of T1, T2, T3 and T4.

Installation Requirements
The Sontels must be installed in accordance with the latest
issues of the relevant parts of the BS EN 60079 specifications
or the equivalent IEC specifications – Selection, Installation
and maintenance of electrical apparatus for use in potentially
explosive atmospheres (other than mining applications or
explosive processing and manufacture):-

Classification of Hazardous Areas
The installation of the units must also be in accordance with
any local codes that may apply and should only be carried out
by a competent electrical engineer who has the necessary
training.
5)
Zones, Gas Group, Category and Temperature
Classification
The BExTS110D Sontels have been certified EEx d IIC T4
(Tamb. –50 to +55ºC). This means that the units can be
installed in locations with the following conditions:-
Area Classification:
Zone 1
Explosive gas air mixture likely to occur in
normal operation.
Zone 2
Explosive gas air mixture not likely to occur,
and if it does, it will only exist for a short time.
Gas Groupings:
Group IIA
Propane
Group IIB
Ethylene
Group IIC
Hydrogen and Acetylene

Sontel Location and Mounting
The location of the Sontels should be made with due regard to
the area over which the warning signal must be audible. And
they should only be fixed to services that can carry the weight
of the unit.
